I was Derek's manager at this time - and coordinated this shoot. In fact - that's my Baseball cap he's wearing. He was a real talent and a great friend - I miss him still x x
That was a Big Audio Dynamite cap wasnt it? And thats members of B.A.D. in the vid....i love their E=MC2 tune from the time too. I bought this on 7" and 12" .... I had my first scratch to this too ... we get paid in P p p p paa woo woounds not in do wik wik wika wika ollars 😶 R.i.P. Derek B
Steve Proctor brah I love this song ever since it came out. Just remember the lyrics as was trying for fall asleep and had to watch this video. Bought this at Sam goody on tape and wore it out in my fake Walkman
I searched 35 years for this song and Good Groove And now i read that he died in 2009 These song gave me so much strength in a very hard time my Mother died in 1988 Thank you Derek you kepped a 17 year kid alive with your music YNWA RIP Derek B EZQ
I still remember seeing him in concert, October 1988 Brixton Academy, warming up for Public Enemy and Run Dmc, still have ticket stub, it was a great night
1988-1989, I was 11 or 12 when this came out,thanks to Yo! mtv raps back then for playing the video and thank you CZcams for bringing back great memories,REST IN PARADISE LEGENDARY DJ DEREK.B,STILL DOPE IN 2016!!!!
I must agree!!! The sampling of old school jams like this is what I’ve loved forever - about to turn 54 years old and this music keeps me young!!!! Miss you DB
One of the earliest albums I ever purchased. My name is Derek V so I would always rap along and substitute it Derek V is bad young brother. He was Definitely ahead of his time. RIP Derek B
I managed to record it on VHS on one of the Saturday morning kids show when I was about 10. I had it on rewind till I learnt the lyrics. Then went on to get the Dugee Fresh show LP. Then I was hooked
Wicked, ive not heard this in more than 2 decades!! Derek B was very cool for the time, its a real tragedy he died so young. I spose Derek B along with Blade were the genesis for British hop hop although the general masses prob never even heard of Blade.
Questo pezzo, spacca ancora oggi. I rapper italiani, dovrebbero imparare bene anche da questo singolo. Non hanno ancora ben chiaro di cosa sia il vero rap. Grande lui. Ho ancora i suoi albun.

I ached for a credible UK artist around this time. . He got the closest! Sorted now. But him and Rebel MC got me going when I was listening to Run, Jay and Ice T
Derek is a legend I met derek in Bentleys Canning Town in 1983/84he was learning the Dj ropes with The legend foggy who is also no longer with us what a guy even at 18 he looked up from the twin decks and said Charles watch me get to the top and he did R.I.P Derek Boland Always in our minds
WOW SO CLEAN !!!! AUDIO/VIDEO...NICE UPLOAD ....THIS BEAT JUST POPPED IN MY HEAD LIKE 2 MINS AGO ...CZcams U FEEL IT LOG ON HEAR IT ...WHATEVER "IT" HAPPENS TO BE !! TONIGHT IT'S DEREK B "BAD YOUNG BROTHER" ....RIP DEREK B
I was at school i was 10 years old and put his tape into the French teachers tape recorder and when she played it this came on instead of the French we was learning 😂i got sent out of the classroom 😂
The CZcams algorithm recommended another Derek B song earlier today ("Bullet from a Gun"). The thumbnail was the album cover and something looked so familiar about it. After hearing a few songs I realized I actually had this CD back in the late 80s. It was crazy to hear these songs again after so long.
He was a Massive Liverpool FC fan, and extra love for him writing and putting together "The Liverpool Rap" elements and beats are from this tune, the lyrics of The Liverpool Rap are so so clever and very funny. R.i.p. Derek GBNF 😢
I was Derek's manager at this time - and coordinated this shoot. In fact - that's my Baseball cap he's wearing. He was a real talent and a great friend - I miss him still x x
Steve Proctor Great song! Still sounds awesome 25+ years later!!

Steve Proctor brah I love this song ever since it came out. Just remember the lyrics as was trying for fall asleep and had to watch this video. Bought this at Sam goody on tape and wore it out in my fake Walkman
"My manager's grinning"
Hope you still are, Steve!
I worked for Age UK in Brentwood and was honoured to help Jenny Boland, Derek's mum. She was very proud of her boy.
I searched 35 years for this song and Good Groove And now i read that he died in 2009 These song gave me so much strength in a very hard time my Mother died in 1988 Thank you Derek you kepped a 17 year kid alive with your music YNWA RIP Derek B EZQ
That sequence of transforming scratch sounds has been stuck in my head for decades
30 years later..... sounds greater!!!! Derek B IS a Bad Young Brother! RIP bro'
WE'LL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!! R. I. P. DEREK B......!!!!!!!!
i´m almost 60 and I love hip hop/rap and this is classic
1988 was a crazy money making time. This was a part of the soundtrack. We felt unstoppable. DB RIP
Absolute Legend..! Will never be forgotten. RIP
2021 and still loving it.
I still remember seeing him in concert, October 1988 Brixton Academy, warming up for Public Enemy and Run Dmc, still have ticket stub, it was a great night
I caught the show at the Manchester Apollo. Derek opened and brilliantly set the tone for the evening.
I saw same lineup in Nuremberg that year, still have pics.
Was silver bullet in the line up?
@realest-12 no unfortunately not, 3 years too early for him
RIP Derek B A talented young brother.
I remember when this came out... It was impressive to hear London putting it down like that.
Corey W. Scales totally agree
I used to bump the hell outta Derek B, this is my joint right here, Classic Hip hop
Forgot how good he was, grew up listening to him. Way too young, such a loss
Absoulte classic. Started life long love of hip hop. RIP Derek.
God damn I loved this song so much when it came out!!
If you listened to this you also listened to Young MC, Roachford, Doug E Fresh, Roxanne Shante and all that good stuff.
... and you probably collected the Streetsounds Electro / Hip Hop LPs
@@QBall5568 wish i still had all mine. i was 10 when i got my first streetsounds release back in 84.
1988-1989, I was 11 or 12 when this came out,thanks to Yo! mtv raps back then for playing the video and thank you CZcams for bringing back great memories,REST IN PARADISE LEGENDARY DJ DEREK.B,STILL DOPE IN 2016!!!!
Was lucky to catch Derek B and Run DMC in Melbourne 1988, such an epic show. So many good memories
Awesome. Then in the 90's we had the phenomenal silver bullet
I taped this off the radio.
I quite possibly listened to it more times than I have listened to anything else.
Rip Derek, Thanks for the beats & rhymes 🙏
RIP, man. Taken way too soon. One of the best of the best songs. Thanks to Fab Freddy to introducing me to this on Yo MTV Raps.
Some Tunes Never Dies
That bit between 02:10 and 02:29 is IMHO one of the best pieces of sound production ever made.
I must agree!!!
The sampling of old school jams like this is what I’ve loved forever - about to turn 54 years old and this music keeps me young!!!!
Miss you DB
Always loved this song since I was 16 I'm 52 now
i loved this at school!! was house, rap and metal!! derek b was famous!! my metal band friends in california loved him!!!
Bad ass tune from the bad ass Derek B..

Still a badass tune. RIP
100% bad ass indeed!!!
I used to bump this alot, Derek B still lives!!!!
as a teen - i thought the catching a record and putting it on the deck in one move was the coolest thing ever in the world.
Woke up, this morning, earwormed by this, again.
One of the earliest albums I ever purchased. My name is Derek V so I would always rap along and substitute it Derek V is bad young brother. He was Definitely ahead of his time. RIP Derek B
RIP big man. You showed me how to do it. ✌️+❤️
OLDSKOOL, yesssss !!!
I managed to record it on VHS on one of the Saturday morning kids show when I was about 10. I had it on rewind till I learnt the lyrics. Then went on to get the Dugee Fresh show LP. Then I was hooked
WHO`S HERE IN 2020
quality british hip hop
I still enjoy listening to this track!! Great opening hooks you from the start!
Wicked, ive not heard this in more than 2 decades!!
Derek B was very cool for the time, its a real tragedy he died so young.
I spose Derek B along with Blade were the genesis for British hop hop although the general masses prob never even heard of Blade.
Us true hip hop heads have in fact we watched him live in Sheffield,he was such a character even had a pint with us after.✌️
Blade is the UK's finest ever MC imo.
Derek b hit the mainstream really early
You helped us break down the doors Derek B.
Derek B old skool hard RIP Derek B
10 years gone RIP
Legend RIP Derrick…

I ached for a credible UK artist around this time. . He got the closest! Sorted now. But him and Rebel MC got me going when I was listening to Run, Jay and Ice T
